Deepening Elemental Bond: Wood

Your elemental companion grows stronger, and the bond you have formed deepens, furthering your affinity for woodland terrain.

• You automatically pass any Strength (Athletics) checks required to climb trees, and you cannot be affected by difficult terrain caused by foliage of any kind.
• Shadow of the Wood: You learn the spell pass without trace, and may cast it once for free so long as you are within an area of terrain at least moderately covered by trees or scrub. When cast in this way, you and your companions cannot be hindered by difficult terrain caused by forest, jungle, or scrub. You regain the use when you complete a short or long rest.
• Expanded Innate Spellcasting: You learn one of the following spells and may cast it once for free as if using a 2nd level spell slot, regaining the use when you complete a long rest: entangle, goodberry, animal messenger, barkskin, protection from poison, spike growth. Charisma is your spellcasting ability for this spell. You may swap this spell for a different one from this list when you gain a level.
